Yeah and on this one the electrolytics are still good surprisingly enough.

I actually took the liberty to taking OldCoot's advice and just snipping out the bumblebee cap and putting the radio back together and the radio still works fine but there is lots of RF Interference though that I noticed wasn't there before I took the blown Bumblebee Cap out (althouth the station I checked it with has a tendancy to get a little staticy in the evening so maybe that's what I was hearing.)
